Last week queerguru had the sheer joy of talking to the legendary performer Miss Thirsty Burlington who is ‘more Cher than Cher’ on the eve of the sneak preview of the first ever public screening of THIRSTY, a fab new movie based on her life. The setting was the equally fabulous Velvet Lounge in the heart of Provincetown just before the Provincetown International Film Festival #PIFF16 kicked off.
We showed a clip of the interview on PTV’s Facebook page last week and it quickly went VIRAL! Here then is the full conversation filmed by Heather Reed and also by Rik Ahlberg who edited the piece too.

Follow both PTV and Thirsty The Movie on Facebook to be sure not to miss out.
